Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.
Make the Electoral College a permanent government body with seat distribution proportional to the party tally in each state and give it the right to approve cabinet members and under secretaries instead of the US Senate!

Heron

: Heron of Ford, Heron of Thornton
The family isupposedly derived its name from an ancestor who was nicknamed 'Heron' because he had long legs. BEB1844 Heron of Chipchase starts with a Sir John Heron of Ford who was "one of the soldiers of the Conqueror" and who married a daughter of Sir William Chipches, the Saxon lord of Chipches Castle, but that seems odd given that Ford may not have come into the family until a later generation. Whilst TCP starts with the William Heron who died in 1296, BE1883 and 'Northumberland Families' start with ...

He22 Margaret Heron possibly of this generation
Margaret is not mentioned by TCP, 'MedieGen', or BE1883 but is identified by BEB1844 Tyrrell of Springfield as the heiress who brought Heron into the Tirrell/Tyrrell family. If as is suggested by the dates she was of this generation rather than, say, 2 generations later then, noting that she had several surviving brothers, the place called Heron that she took into the Tyrrell family as her dowry was probably only a small part of the Heron family holdings of the time and was probably developed/expanded by the Tyrrells later.
